As strong Santa Ana winds sweep across Los Angeles County through Wednesday evening, the South Coast Air Quality Management District in Southern California has issued a warning about potential impacts on air quality due to dust and ash from the burning wildfires in the region.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has issued a Windblown Dust and Ash advisory, stating that the strong winds are expected to disperse ash and dust from burn scars in areas such as the Palisades and Eaton. This may lead to air quality reaching levels that are unhealthy for sensitive groups or worse in some regions.
